Abstract

Software requirements elicitation is the base of the software development process and involves multiple stakeholders from the same organization, each having its own requirements and priorities, which may be conflicting with the requirements and priorities of the other stakeholders for the same system. Resolving these conflicts in requirements is necessary to ensure the development of a successful software system. In this paper we will review different models and techniques available in academia to resolve these conflicts in stakeholder goals. We will also discuss strengths and weaknesses of each of the solution. Finally, we will present an optimized solution for resolving these conflicts at requirements level.
